4 For a
thousand years in thy sight are but as yester-day : seeing that is
past as a watch in the night.

5 As soon as
thou scatterest them they are even as a sleep : and fade away
suddenly like the grass.

6 In the
morning it is green, and groweth up : but in the evening it is cut
down, dried up, and withered.

7 For we
consume away in thy displeasure : and are afraid at thy wrathful
indignation.

8 Thou hast
set our misdeeds before thee : and our secret sins in the light of
thy countenance.

9 For when
thou art angry all our days are gone : we bring our years to an
end, as it were a tale that is told.

10 The days
of our age are threescore years and ten; and though men be so
strong that they come to fourscore years : yet is their strength
then but labour and sorrow; so soon passeth it away, and we are
gone.

11 But who
regardeth the power of thy wrath : for even thereafter as a man
feareth, so is thy displeasure.

12 So teach
us to number our days : that we may apply our hearts unto
wisdom.

13 Turn thee
again, O Lord, at the last : and be gracious unto thy servants.

14 O satisfy
us with thy mercy, and that soon : so shall we rejoice and be glad
all the days of our life.

15 Comfort us
again now after the time that thou hast plagued us : and for the
years wherein we have suffered adversity.

16 Shew thy
servants thy work : and their children thy glory.

17 And the
glorious majesty of the Lord our God be upon us : prosper thou the
work of our hands upon us, O prosper thou our handywork.

Psalm 91.

Qui habitat

Whoso dwelleth under
the defence of the most High : shall abide under the shadow of the
Almighty.

2 I will say
unto the Lord, Thou art my hope, and my strong hold : my God, in
him will I trust.

3 For he
shall deliver thee from the snare of the hunter : and from the
noisome pestilence.

4 He shall
defend thee under his wings, and thou shalt be safe under his
feathers : his faithfulness and truth shall be thy shield and
buckler.

5 Thou shalt
not be afraid for any terror by night: nor for the arrow that
flieth by day;

6 For the
pestilence that walketh in darkness : nor for the sickness that
destroyeth in the noon-day.

7 A thousand
shall fall beside thee, and ten thousand at thy right hand : but it
shall not come nigh thee.

8 Yea, with
thine eyes shalt thou behold : and see the reward of the
ungodly.
